CHIEF Kashiba of the Lunda people of Mwense District has called on elected leaders and other stakeholders to help promote the free-education policy during their tenure of office.

Chief Kashiba says promoting the policy will encourage more girls and boys to acquire education thereby reducing the high illiteracy levels in the district.

“I will also ensure that girls and boys in my chiefdom and district at large acquire education through the free-education policy and utilise the various empowerment programmes that opportunity has been provided by government,” Chief Kashiba said.

Meanwhile, Chief Kashiba implored the local authority to expedite road network expansion works using the earth moving equipment that was procured using the CDF.

“Most of our areas in the district are not accessible. I am happy that the council recently managed to buy equipment, but this equipment should now work to construct roads in the district to make areas accessible,” Chief Kashiba said.
